VA MSDN Events for December
Microsoft's DCC Geoff Snowman just shared two free upcoming MSDN events for .Net developers:
Newport News: http://msevents.microsoft.com/cui/EventDetail.aspx?culture=en-US&EventID=1032258622
Chester: http://msevents.microsoft.com/cui/EventDetail.aspx?culture=en-US&EventID=1032258636
There both in mid December, so check them out if you can break free of your end-of-year work committments and come out to learn about OO in .Net, MapPoint, and ASP.Net 1.1 and the upcoming 2.0 release. I know Microsoft pays attention to turnout at these “secondary locations“ -- we're hardly a Washington DC or New York City -- so if a good number of developers come out we'll likely see more events around here.
I'll be staffing a WeProgram.Net user group table at the Newport News event; Susan or another representative from the Hampton Roads SQL Server User Group may be joining me. Chester is closer to Richmond so I'm not sure what community involvement you'll see up there.
<guilt target=“Brendan Tompkins“>I'm taking bets whether Brendan Tompkins will show at this event. He's participated in all the WeProgram.Net fun events, like the cricket match and the bloggers dinner, but he hasn't attended any actual WeProgram.Net meetings. This MSDN event could be a breakthrough for BT!</guilt>
Hope to see you there!
